Thrill ride stalls 200 feet up at Six Flags San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO, TX -- Riders were left hanging mid-air on a 200-foot ride at Six Flags in San Antonio, Texas, footage shows.

Maria Salazar was on the Supergirl Sky Flight when she said it stalled.

"When my husband, our friends, and I got in the ride it stopped in the air for about 10 to 15 minutes before they had to call maintenance to bring us down," she told Storyful.

"It was scary to have to wait up in the air, unable to move," she said.

A park spokesperson told Storyful that an operator stopped the ride after seeing a guest holding their cell phone on the ride, violating the park's safety policy.

"Last weekend, a ride operator stopped one of our rides when a guest violated our safety policy. Once the issue was resolved, the ride resumed. All guests safely exited, and the ride remained open for the remainder of the day," the spokesperson said.
